News I July 2008 My next Samhaim e-book/later print project is out. Because Samhaim
doesn't handle long books, they split this one into two. This story is romantic fantasy, rather than category romance, so the world and the subsidiary
characters are as important as the hero and heroine. It's a lot like Crown Duel in tone and how romance blends with adventure. The two together are called Sasharia en Garde! and the
titles are Once a Princess, and Twice a Prince.
King's Shield is out. Some people have reported sightings.
I tried to make it stand alone, though it's number three in a series of four, the first one being called Inda--like the series.
A Stranger to Command, the prequel to Crown Duel comes out the first of August.
Winter and Spring 2008 My YA fantasy A Posse of Princesses is out now
on Amazon This one takes place on the same world as Wren to the Rescue and is aimed at about the same age of reader--maybe twelve
and up. It's more romantic than adventurous, but there is some adventure at the end. It's about friendship, romance, love, what you might think is love,
but isn't, and what different kinds of love there are--all aimed at the younger teen, or the reader who would rather read a story at most rated PG. I also play a little with the "Chosen One" trope: what happens if
you are born with talent (magical) and didn't want to get trained . . . and you are NOT the Chosen One? Can you make a good life for yourself anyway? 14 Feb 2008--My story Rule of Engagement is out in
Lace and Blade
12 Feb 2008--Trouble with Kings is out
as an e-book from Samhain. Amazon kindle version. (It's also going to be on Fictionwise.) This fantasy romance was written just after Crown Duel. back in the days when there were no ordinary princesses...I wondered what it would be like for an ordinary one to fall into highly romantic, dashing adventures, and that tale wrote itself. It's my first experiment with e-books; in December 2008, Samhain will bring it out in print.
2 January 2008: CJ's First Notebook: Over the Sea is now out. This is my earliest set of stories, about CJ and the adventuring girls who don't have to grow up. They have fun! They learn magic! They fight villains! (They are highly trained in the art of the Duel to the Pie!) 16 December 2007--I have a story in
Coyote Wild--"And Now Abideth These Three" is the closest I've ever come to a holiday story. It's reptrinted from Realms of Fantasy ten
years ago. I got interviewed--and by the excellent author Shannon Hale!
